Pomp and a Party

The highlight of this weekend was heading out Saturday night to celebrate my boss’s 30th birthday. The first part of the day was spent training, napping, and having an overall lazy Saturday. The weather, while warm, was rainy, foggy, and not entirely pleasant to be out in.

The party was held at Pomp & Circumstance, a newer restaurant/bar located in Old Town. We had the second floor rented out for the party and it had a great ambiance to help enjoy the holiday spirit and a special birthday!

I was most excited to wear real clothes, wear makeup, and do my hair. Unfortunately, this sweater was overkill with the temperatures and the humidity attacked my hair with no remorse. Here I am with some of my lovely coworkers:

Neil and I with the birthday boy! HUMIDITY WHYYYYY??? By the time I got home my hair was about a foot bigger than when I left and I had developed magical curls that had no rhyme or reason.

We only stayed out until around 10 pm because I was scheduled to teach the classes Sunday morning, I had a training client before that, and I am an old lady that usually goes to bed at 10 pm anyway. We did fit in one more episode of The Wire though before bed.

Sunday after I was done with classes, I headed home and we made a trip to the suburbs near Midway airport to pick up a chair.

Then we stopped at Valentina Restaurant for some Mexican food. Their chips, dip, and these quesadillas were on point. I even ate the rice which I usually leave alone.

I was so full that dinner didn’t happen until 8 pm which came in the middle of football, another nap, and finishing up The Wire. Now on to season five!

This weekend was not very eventful, but those are the kinds of weekends I love. How about you? Also please note: NO MAC ‘N CHEESE PIZZA THIS WEEKEND. Who am I??

I’m guessing the chair was on Craigslist or something? Because otherwise, that is an interesting location for chair shopping. It is always so weird seeing people in real clothes. I used to see people not in their riding stuff and have no clue who they were, just that they looked vaguely familiar. Made for a lot of awkward staring.Susie @ SuzLyfe recently posted…Working with a Dietitian + Brick Betty Trunk Shows!

My hair does the same thing. Thankfully I live in the desert so it’s mostly dry, but during monsoon watch out. The weather is so crazy! It’s 50’s in Phoenix. I think it’s warmer in the midwest than it ha been here.Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious recently posted…Eating Healthy On The Go Is A Breeze With RubbermaidÂ®
